What you have marked as sewing thread storage is actual a traveler writer's box, inside you can see the marks of pens and pencils. The top storage is for paper, on the top is a pad (though worn and frayed) for writing. It's a good box but would be better listed in stationary or art supplies. Great restoration project, unit has moderate use.
Traveler writer's box, marks of pens and pencils inside drawer, pad on top for writing. Wood is in great condition, no real splintering, drawers move in/out just fine. No visible damage or defects. The original boxes maybe a bit beat up. As a result, we may use generic packing to secure the item.We are not perfect and may make a mistake in the description of the product. We are honest people and will work to correct any mistakes. If a part is missing or damaged beyond proper use, we will replace the part. The only exception is is if your item is missing a few pieces of generic hardware that could be picked up at the local hardware store ie: missing a couple screws or washers.
